250: A New Neighbor & an Assplosion

Hate ads? The entire LGTC catalog is available ad-free on Patreon!Leith, North Dakota, is a very small place. So, when Craig Cobb moved to town, everyone tried to be friendly. He was a little odd, but he seemed harmless. He was just an older, lonely man who’d come out to work on a nearby oil field. But what the people of Leith didn’t know was that Craig Cobb was a white supremacist, and he had a plan to take over their town.Then Brandi tells us about Greg Mulhivill, who received a call late one night from a person who claimed to be a private investigator. The caller instructed Greg to meet him at a remote location. When Greg arrived at the spot, he sensed that something was off. He used his flashlight to survey the area and was stunned to spot a man crouching in the bushes.And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.In this episode, Kristin pulled from:The documentary, “Welcome to Leith”“Craig Cobb” entry on the Southern Poverty Law Center“Village of the Damned,” by Ryan Lenz for the Southern Poverty Law CenterIn this episode, Brandi pulled from:“Diana Lovejoy” episode Snapped“The Night of the New Moon” episode Dateline“Diana Lovejoy” chillingcrimes.com“Gun Instructor Who Tried to Kill Lover's Husband: I Regret Cheating on My Wife More Than Shooting” by Christine Pelisek, People“Couple Guilty in Bizarre Attempted Murder Speak Before Sentencing” by Liberty Zabala and R.
